1. General Information
1.1. Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Personal Data Collector (PDC) with
LCD display. The PDC features a real-time clock, a buzzer, a dual-color status
LED, an option for a laser barcode scanning engine or CCD based barcode
scanning engine, and a UART port with optional Bluetooth or various
communication cables for connection to external equipment.
The on-board 32K non-volatile EEPROM (with an option to upgrade to 64K)
provides ample, stable memory space dedicated to storing scanned data. The
PDC can retain more than 2000 UPC records including a timestamp.
The Personal Data Collector comes with built-in data collection firmware,
called FREETASK, which can scan, store barcodes, and do simple edits on
the stored data. Data can be uploaded to a PC through a Bluetooth
connection, RS-232 cable, or a USB cable.
WinTaskGen, a software program on the included CD-ROM can be used to
create customized programs (Tasks) for download and use with the PDC. A
Task can have up to four operation procedures to manage four data forms
each with 16 separate data fields.
For more advanced requirements, there are available libraries for developing
programs under the Keil C environment. Contact your agent if you are
interested in this approach.
